Wow. What a night. I left the office at 7:30pm, called and begged the cleaners to open up for me since I forgot to go pick up our clothes for the trip. They graciously met me and loaded my truck. MLH is just now coming in from his leases, and we still have to pack. But the neatest thing happened, and I just have to share it!
Around 8:30 p.m., I called Bob and Cherie to see what they were doing. They were having supper with friends, and I asked them to call me when they were done. I guess they heard the panic in my voice…because I was panicking. Around 9pm, they called me back and asked if I needed help.
I knew MLH wasn’t going to make it home before midnight at the earliest. We have to leave early in the morning for Santa Fe, and I had no clothes picked out. We go from breakfast meetings to golf outings to tours to formal dinners, and though I had some ideas of what I was going to take, I hadn’t worked it all out.
Bob and Cherie came through the door and we went to work. (Well, Bob went to work watching a western, which was good – we probably would have driven him to drink.) Cherie made a long arduous task fun and gave great advice. Want to check the status of a friendship? Go through what we did tonight!
Now, all we have to do is get MLH and Zack home from the field, pack our truck, and go west, young man! No way could I have been this far along without Bob & Cherie’s help. Thanks, y’all! You rock!!

Isn't it great to have friends??
Have a great trip!!
Good luck in Santa Fe.
Do guys really have it so much easier in the clothing department or do we just not care?
Thanks, In_spired!
Jonboy - Thanks! Hope your dad's doing well, haven't had an update lately. And,yup. Guys have it so much easier. Couple of jackets, dress pants, two pair of shoes. Done.
Ladies have to be prepared for hot or cold, formal nights, casual days, dress dinners. It's crazy.
And not fair at all!
Safe travels, Janie! Though packing was a pain, sounds like it'll be busy and some fun, too.
